Today I weighed in at 167.6, BMI of 24.9. I am so happy and motivated to keep going. And I have the holiday weekend to do my closet cleanout! I know that sounds sad but I'm trying to make the most of a stay at home July 4th.

My next goal is to have lost 10% of my body weight, which will come at 166.1.

165.9! Although my brain is struggling to see it I have lost 10% of my body weight! Next mini-goal is to reach 75% of the way to ultimate goal weight. That'll be at 164.8. All the best to everyone working towards your goals, it's awesome ❤️

I'm working on losing 5 pounds this month--almost half way there

I have a pair of shorts hanging on the outside of my closet that I keep trying on and continue to do so until they fit the way I want them too. I'm within 50 lbs of my end goal!

You'll get there. It's like they never fit....and then one day they do! I have this with a pair of old jeans. I try them on every two weeks

Here's to hoping everyone has a great, safe and fantastic weekend.

I've held at 210 all week and now my new mini-goal will be 208. Baby steps for me; I'm new to remembering I have a mini goal, and keeping it reasonable for me means something I won't forget while waiting to get there I can't remember where any of my bruises come from, either, but that's been true since I had my first child

My weight loss has been so slow (like 1.5lbs per month) that my mini goals are tiny too. Next up, I want my weight to start with 96 instead of 97kg. I’m less than a pound away from that. Every number away from 100 is a big win.

The upside of operating in kg personally but in pounds on MFP forums is that I can set milestones and goals in both units, so next up are:
Under 97kg
Under 212,5lbs (so it rounds up to 210 instead of 215)
Under 96,21kg (my next Happy Scale milestone)
Under 96kg
Under 210lbs
Under 95kg (this is the first really big milestone where my weight would round up to 90 instead of 100)

I’m absolutely going to celebrate these and feel like the success kid meme everytime I reach one of these.

Most of all, I really want to hit all these goals by the end of August. I want my weekly loss rate to be closer to 1lb than zero.

My loss rate is finally where I'm happy with it, 1,3 lbs per week for two weeks in a row. Current predictions for my first BIG milestone of 89,9 kg are now in early October instead of mid-November when my birthday is.

Looking at Happy Scale predictions also informed me I'm 1,4 lbs away from losing 20% of my goal, which is to reach 79,9 kg.

My next mini goal is to get below 83kg on our heavy scale as well as our light scale. (We have two: one weighs consistently but light; one weighs inconsistently and 0.6 - 0.8 kg heavier. However, my doctor's scales would suggest that the heavier one is more accurate.)

After a cheat day turned into a cheat weekend, and one filled with to much sodium... I have my work cut out to hit my mini goal. My goal is to be below 220 by the end of the month. I have seen the 2-teens for more than 4 years. This morning I was 224.2.... 19 days ... time to increase cardio and back to clean eating. This mornings fare was 4 egg whites and a bowl of oatmeal.

I hope this is true. I could just squeeze into my jeans when I started (couldn't actually move once I had them done up!) I've lost about 8kg (roughly 17lbs) and they still don't fit properly. These used to be my baggy jeans! Like you I keep trying them regularly waiting for the magic point where they feel good again.

To button my favorite pants back up. I just blew a button off my other pair today, and not going to risk putting my favs on until I am down 10 LBs. 🥴

Oh no ~ are you hanging up your jeans in sight or do you put them out of sight? I'm thinking about bringing out a pair of my old favorite shorts (to hot for jeans here in Alabama right now) as a motivation.... there is now way I can get them on comfortably right now... hoping by end of August.

@torabelle79 That is a stunning dress, congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I really love the back of your dress - it's a very elegant design. You'll definitely look gorgeous in your wedding photos for decades to come, that dress will never go out of fashion.

I hung up a pair of goal pants to look at every day and took a picture of them and set it as my phone lock screen. So every time I looked at them dragonpants I was reminded of what I needed to conquer/slay (I'm a gamer so I think of everything as quests and challenges!). Eventually, I did slay them dragonpants and was able to wear them. And now they are in my "too big" pile. XD

But every time I saw my phone I was reminded of my goal! And every time I got ready for work, I was faced with my goal!

They are not really in sight, just hanging up in my closet. But, I know they are there. 😊

Gotcha ~ I have a Post-It note on the fridge that says... Think Smart.... it's small but helps.

I just want the scale to read 170. I've been between 175 and 180 for about 15 years.

eringoodrich

Right now, I just want my shirts to stay down and stop showing my belly, and to stop eating everything in sight.

I want to lose 8 more pounds before our trip to the coast in 5 weeks. I can do this!

Good luck Columbus ~ you can do it. You're in the place to get help. Support, motivation, and if wanted (or needed) a swift kick in the backside. lol.
I feel the same way.... I've not been below 220 in about 10 yrs.... my long term goal is to get to UNDER 200.
